Harald Stauss + 1997-2008 + +FastPicTeX is a preprocessor for PiCTeX that takes very easy to write +macros and converts them to PiCTeX code that can be included in LaTeX +documents. FastPicTeX is specifically designed for diagrams of +numbered data material, such as line graphs, bar graphs, or xy +graphs. A detailed manual for FastPicTeX is included as PDF. Usage of +the program is very simple: + +fastpictex file_in file_out + +file_in: macro file that contains the data and macros describing + the chart. +file_out: LaTeX file containing the PicTeX code for the chart. It can + be included in a LaTeX document with the \input command. + +To compile the program, simply change to the directory where you +extracted all the files from the archive. Then do the following: + +cd fastpictex-x.x\src +make + +That's all. Isn't it easy? + +A binary for DOS/Windows is included. + +If you find this program useful, please send me a picture postcard of +your home town. Otherwise, the GNU general public licence (GPL) +applies. + +Have fun with FastPicTeX ! + +Harald M. Stauss, MD |
